Gilbert's directory runs 58 salons and barbers, from full-service stylists to shops built around men's grooming. Of the ones that carry ratings — about 86% — the average sits at 4.8 stars, and roughly three in four take online booking. Here's what the local scene covers and how to sort through it.
What the Gilbert scene covers well
Men's grooming is the deepest bench here: 19 shops handle men's cuts, the same 19 do fades, and 18 offer beard trims. On the salon side, 18 places offer women's cuts, 18 do styling, and 18 run blowouts. Need a standing barber or a blow-dry before an event? Either way there's real choice.
Textured and specialty work is thinner but present. Seven salons offer extensions and 7 handle weaves, while braids, locs, and protective styles each show up at 4 shops. If that's what you're after, the list is short enough to work through carefully — call ahead and ask about your specific texture and style.
Booking and ratings at a glance
About 74% of the salons here take online booking, so most of the time you can reserve without a phone call. The remaining quarter run on call-ins or walk-ins, which is worth confirming before you drive over.
Ratings cover roughly 86% of the directory, and those shops average 4.8 stars. A high average across a lot of shops tells you the floor is solid; it doesn't tell you who's right for your hair. Read the review counts and recent notes on the individual cards to close that gap.
How to use this directory
Start by filtering to the service you actually want. A barber who does fades reads very differently from a stylist who does color and blowouts, even though both land under "hair." The service tags confirm the work happens at a shop, not that it's a house specialty — treat them as a starting shortlist.
From there, weigh review count alongside the star rating: 4.8 across hundreds of reviews is a steadier signal than a perfect score across a handful. Check whether a shop takes online booking if that matters to you, and for braids, locs, or extensions, confirm the specific style and hair type by phone before you book.
